Turnberry Tower

Those seeking the ultimate bird’s nest view may wish to consider Turnberry Tower. Designed by Robert M. Swerdroe, the sleek 26-story high-rise is the tallest condominium building in Washington DC Metro. Delivered in 2009, the curvilinear structure with its wraparound balconies offers unparalleled views of the Potomac River, famed Washington landmarks and the surrounding Arlington cityscape. This is a building that does not skimp on living space, with one, two and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,312 to 5,304 square feet. With modern open layouts, expansive window-walls and European-style gourmet kitchens, these coveted residences are often the hottest ticket in town for DC’s famed Fourth of July fireworks displays over the Potomac.

Life at the very top of Turnberry Tower occurs in the aptly named Tower Suites on the 26th floor as well as Penthouses on the 25th floor. With soaring 11-foot ceilings, private elevator access and stunning tableaus from open-air terraces, these impressive homes perch high above Rosslyn’s thriving urban waterfront. But the levels below are equally impressive, from exotic hardwood floors to designer finishes and marble baths. Residents also enjoy a raft of pampered amenities, including 24/7 front desk with concierge service, heated indoor pool with attendants, a health center with personal trainers, screening room with full catering kitchen, wellness spa, social room, security and valet parking—just to name a few.

Accessing The Best Of DC From Turnberry Tower

Turnberry Tower is just a block from the Rosslyn Metro Station with its Blue, Orange and Silver Lines. It’s also right by the Key Bridge for easy access to DC, and convenient to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The neighborhood is the gateway to the ultra-popular Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor with an unending stretch of top bars, restaurants, shopping and entertainment.

Rosslyn: An Evolving Waterfront

Rosslyn was once known for its ferry to Georgetown, as well as wild and wooly gambling halls. A “corruption cleanup” campaign in the early 1900s led to greater residential development, while modern makeovers have focused on skyscrapers not bound by Washington D.C.’s height restrictions act. Today, Arlington planners are creating a more walk-friendly environment. Recently opened restaurants include CAVA, KOVI and an upcoming Sfoglina location from Fabio Trabocchi. There’s also faves like Barley Mac, Mele Bistro, Quinn’s on the Corner and the Continental Pool Lounge. Groceries can be gathered from Whole Foods while morning espressos are available at Central Coffee Bar and Jon’s Coffee. Residents have plenty of options outside their local waterfront haunts as well, whether it’s crossing Key Bridge to Georgetown or walking next-door to Courthouse and Clarendon for dining, shopping and entertainment galore.
